    Suggested category: "Humor"
    Summary: Sometimes, the worst mistake you can make is to cheat in a very important game of chess. The second worst thing is inform Dumbledore ten minutes after you were caught cheating at said game... A very odd story about the politically correct term 'defeat'.

    Pretty amusing one-shot coming from the author of "Adrift in A World". Seems rather ludocrous most of the way in, but in the end, it turns out the story had a point after all.
    4/5

    Voldemort was a bit OOC but that's alright, it's a humor fic so it's all good. The choice of "Pin the AK on Dumbledore" was interesting, I just wish they'd gone through with it.

    3.5/5

    Heheh. Quite amusing, even if it didn't make me do more than smile. 3.5/5

    Good laugh. Nice luna characterization. I'd recommend it for a one time read. 4/5

    There were moments that made me smile and laugh. The idea of a sentient Slinky with powers for one. But overall it just felt like a jumbled mess, especially the odd sort of ending. Still there are humorous parts.

    3/5

    I have to say the beginning was rather stupid, funny but stupid. A slinky, I thought that was american. I could be wrong though. The entire thing has the air of a mild crack fic, otherwise constantly amusing in most cases. Found Luna characterization to be as out of character as the rest but at least she isn't forgotten in this one. That the whole thing was staged by Harry and company was a bit farfetched but humorous. 4/5

    Heh. I thought it was decent, for this sort of humorous oneshot. Made me laugh a couple times, so 3.5/5.
